Abstract

The invention relates to the production, conveyance and storage of a therapeutic system in the form of plaster comprising an active layer which is oversaturated with an active substance. Said layer contains the active substance in a homogenous dispersion or solution. The method is characterized in that when it is carried out it avoids procedural parameters which favour or trigger crystallization of the active substance and avoids all type of pressure effects on the plaster and especially the active layer during implementation.

Description

r Process for the production of a therapeutic system in the form of a plaster D E S C R I P T I O N
The invention relates to a proce~os for the production, transport and storage of a transclermal therapeutic system (TTS) which is in the form of a plaster and has an active layer supersaturated with active ingredient and containing the active ingredient in homogeneous dispersion or in solution.
Transdermal therapeutic systems normally consist of a backing layer which is impermeab7Le to active and inactive ingredients, of an active ingredient-containing and frequently adhesive reservoir layer and of a protecting layer which is to be removed before application and a.s likewise impermeable to active ingredient. In order to achieve release of active ingredLent sufficient for therapeutic purposes, it may be necessary for the active ingredient-containing layer to be supersaturated with active ingredient. Although such supersaturated transdermal therapeutic systems can have a high thermodynamic activity for therapeutic purposes, on the other hand there is the latent risk that the active ingredients will crystallize completely or partly. It is known that the crystallization o:E active ingredient is extremely disadvantageous for it;s release, considerably reducing or completely preventing the latter. It is also known that crystallization of the active ingredient is favoured and/or induced by the operation of pressure on an active ingredient-containing layer.
Transdermal therapeutic systems i.n the form of plasters are mostly produced by coating the detachable protecting layer with an active ingredient-containing adhesive composition and laminating on the backing layer. The laminate produced in this way andl consisting of backing layer, layer supersaturated with active ingredient and removable protecting layer is then wound up, and the broad roll obtained in this way is cut into narrow rolls. It is true that pressure is briefly exe:rted on the active ingredient-containing layer on carrying out these process steps. However, as a consequence of the short operating time, this operation of pressure has no adverse effect on the crystallization behaviour of the active ingredient in the active ingredient-supersaturated layer. During the subsequent production process, individual plasters are cut out of the narrow rolls described above. For this i.t is necessary for the laminate to be unwound from the narrow rolls and transported by traction through the machine.
This entails use of so-called advance tractions. They grip the laminate from the side and transport it through the machine. During this it is unavoidable that pressure is exerted for a relatively long time on the layer supersaturated in active ingredient, resulting in initiation of crystallization of the active ingredient.
The invention is based on the objiect of indicating a process for the production, transport and storage of a transdermal therapeutic system in the form of a plaster, by which crystallization of the active ingredient is suppressed.
The object is achieved in a proceass of the type specified in the precharacterizing clause of Claim 1 with the invention by carrying it out avoiding process parameters which favour or induce crystalli~:ation of active ingredient, and avoiding any type of pressure operating on the plaster and, in particular, on the active layer while it is carried out.
Surprisingly, it has emerged that: crystallization of the active ingredient in the layer supersaturated with active ingredient can be suppressed by avoiding any type of prolonged operation of pressure on the plaster, and, in particular, on the active layer v~hile carrying out the process for the production, tran:cport and storage of a therapeutic system in the form oi: a plaster. This can be achieved by using reduced pressure to grip the plaster or parts thereof during transport procedures between operational steps in production or packaging. Gripping the plaster or parts thereof with thEa aid of suction devices avoids any operation of pressure during this. Another possibility for avoiding the operation of pressure is made possible according to the invention on use of gripping or holding devices during or between operational steps for the production, packaging or transport by them taking hold in each case at a distance from t:he contour of a plaster or of the active layer, for example in the area between separate individual plasters.
Finally, the operation of pressure on the finished plaster during packaging and dispatch to the final distributor is prevented by packaging finished plasters singly in a dimensionally stable pack which has at least limited pressure resistance.
The process according to the invention for the production of transdermal therapeutic systems in the form of plasters of the invention is advantageous:Ly and preferably employed for those groups of active ingredients prone to recrystallization in supersaturai:ed phase.
